VOTE SET: Sorenson’s Former Senate Seat

Gov. Terry Branstad has set a special election for the seat vacated by Kent Sorenson.

The election for Iowa Senate District 13 will be held Tuesday, November 19th. The district includes Madison County and nearly all of Warren County.

Sorenson resigned last week after the results of an independent investigation were released. The report showed Sorenson violated Senate ethics rules by indirectly taking money from the Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul campaigns.
